Specific Request Headers in JSP

Whenever an http client sends a request, it can also sends
the headers with it. All the headers are optional except Content-length, which
is required only for POST requests. Here is the list of most commonly used
headers are:

1) Accept : The MIME types the browser prefers.

2) Accept- Encoding: The types of data encodings the
browser knows how to decode.

3) Accept- Charset: The character set the browser
expects.

4) Content-Length: It is mostly used for POST messages,
it tells how much data is attached.

5) Cookie: It is one of the most frequently used
headers, it returns the cookies.

6) Accept- Language: The language the browser is
expecting.

In this example we are going to retrieve some of the
headers available in the request object. We are retrieving it by using the
expression tag.
